In Curaçao, spring is not a season that arrives, but a presence that reveals itself in the light. It lingers in the slow drift of shadows, in the warmth held by stone, in the quiet dialogue between sea air and structure.

On site, each moment becomes a way of seeing. Forms emerge gently, materials catch the sun, and the landscape guides every intention.

Here, spring is a shift in perception - a soft sharpening of the gaze, where inspiration settles into place.

Spring settles over the Portuguese countryside, revealing the textures of old stone, timber, and land shaped by time. As nature awakens, this former farm begins its quiet transformation — openings rediscovered, volumes reimagined, and a new dialogue emerging between past and present.

Guided by light and memory, the reconversion unfolds gradually… soon to be revealed.

Curaçao, last week.

With the masterplan fase completed, we’ve now started working on the next chapter of this project.

Being on site again, walking the landscape, seeing the light, and experiencing the place beyond the drawings, was incredibly inspiring. It added new layers to the project and brought many ideas with it.

We’re looking forward to continuing this process together with - developing the project step by step, and shaping it further in the months ahead.

The project aims to introduce the new plaza as an attractive destination in Punda - reactivating the historic Waterfort structure with new activity, and creating a place where indoor and outdoor life flow naturally together.

Thank you to for the wonderful collaboration and for guiding us around the island during this inspiring visit!

« Tra antico e nuovo deve esserci un punto di contatto. »

Carlo Scarpa

In rehabilitation projects, architecture often unfolds in subtle, sometimes invisible gestures: a measured contrast, a carefully considered lighting strategy, a restored detail that regains its presence.

In this process, every detail matters. A column, a moulding, an ornament are not merely decorative elements; they are fragments of memory, witnesses to craftsmanship, to a specific era, to an architectural intention. Preserving and enhancing them means accepting that the project should not impose itself upon the place, but rather inscribe itself within its continuity. Bringing together the historic and the contemporary requires precision and restraint, finding the right balance between respect for heritage and contemporary uses.

Rehabilitating an industrial building means valuing what already exists rather than erasing it.
For Molengebouw and Riffellokaal, the metal structure, wooden ceiling and brick façade have been carefully preserved to maintain the identity of the former factory. Original openings and façades remain intact, anchoring the project in its industrial past.

The interior spaces now offer contemporary comfort, with highly flexible layouts, generous ceiling heights, and a beautiful transparency between rooms. The result is a subtle dialogue between heritage and modernity, where the spirit of the industrial site continues to inspire new ways of living.

Beneath the garden of De Meelfabriek, designed by Piet Oudolf, lies a remarkable feat of engineering and architecture: a three-level underground parking facility. Built in a challenging context, where the groundwater level is particularly high, this project required advanced technical solutions to excavate and secure the space while preserving the integrity of the site. Designed to maximize capacity while respecting the aesthetics, it integrates discreetly into the heart of Singelpark in Leiden.

Above it, the Singel Toren, a 50-meter-high tower, rises with elegance. Its exposed concrete structure and distinct volumes create a contemporary dialogue with the surrounding historic heritage. The apartments feature large windows, generous loft-like spaces, and terraces, combining light, modernity, and a strong connection to the city.

This project perfectly reflects our approach: merging functionality, architectural rigor, and respect for the urban landscape, while giving every element—even a parking garage—its own identity, and pushing technical boundaries in a complex aquatic environment.

Living in Meelpakhuis means choosing a unique way of inhabiting space, where industrial heritage meets contemporary living.
Here, the rehabilitation preserves the existing concrete structure, which becomes a constant presence throughout the apartment. It creates a strong connection between rooms, adds character, and shapes an atypical living environment.

Generous volumes, open layouts, and impressive ceiling heights allow the creation of spacious lofts filled with light. Living in Meelpakhuis is about inhabiting an unconventional place, where architecture tells a story and transforms everyday life into an experience.
